Answer: (4)
Solution: (4)
Solving by options
(1) $\left(1250 \times \frac{5}{9}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}=\left(\frac{6250}{9}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} = (694.44)^{\frac{1}{2} }\approx 26$
(2) $\left(4112 \times \frac{7}{13}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} =\left(\frac{28784}{13}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} = (2214.16)^{\frac{1}{3} } \approx 13$
(3) $\left(3221 \times \frac{5}{19}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} = (847.63)^{\frac{1}{2} }\approx 29$
(4) $\left(412 \times \frac{15}{11}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} = (561.81)^{\frac{1}{2} } \approx 24$
(5) $\left(3444 \times \frac{17}{13}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} = (4503.69)^{\frac{1}{3} } \approx 16.5$
